You are the safari. I am the tiger. 

I am the wave. You are the sunshine.

I am the surfboard. You are the ice cream sundae. 

I am the shell. You are the hermit crab.

You are the ship. I am the anchor. 

You are the saxophone. I am the music.

You are the whip. I am the cowboy. 

You are I. I am you. 

No logic, no rhyme or reason, 

Just you and me — 

Rising light and clouds. 

I behold you. You behold me.

Freak out--I mixed up metaphors that would have sounded better in a different order! Oh, no! Terror in the halls of literature. Just kidding, I don't care if this makes sense or not, because I really like it.

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. —Rachel Carson

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)<br /> <br /> "Upon his bench the pieces lay<br /> As if an artwork on display<br /> Of gears and hands<br /> And wire-thin bands<br /> That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]
